Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Panthers: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With linebacker, edge rusher and other spots still glaring, the Panthers used pick No. 101 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not exactly short of.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Wilson left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in the 33rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They paid a round early for Roman Wilson in the 65th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in slot 101 leaves linebacker, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A conviction pick on Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 169 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Good price on Nathan Thomas in No. 180, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Myles Jones at the Round 7 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
